Boston College Waitlist 2021

@jenjen2021 I am waitlisted. I’m not sure I’ve said that. @Jesuit123 Thanks for your comments.

You’re very welcome! I remember how stressful the waitlist was last year for me, and I wanna make it as easy/informed for you all as possible. :slight_smile:

That’s very nice. It is toral dedication to accept as late you did. BC is fortunate have you! Your helpful spirit is what they are all about…

I totally agree. Hopefully it all works out for us :slight_smile:

When did you email your advisor?

@kkriley1027 Do you mean regional counselor?

I emailed my assigned admissions associate last week.

What kind of response did you receive from your regional counselor ? @ABEagle

There was no response. I assume they are inundated with emails. Did you receive a response @jenjen2021?

I did receive a response from mine but am unsure if this means anything. @ABEagle

Was it just an acknowledgment? If so, i may resend mine to make sure it was received. @jenjen2021

@ABEagle At least for me last year, I never once got a response via email until the very end. They probably received it.

@ABEagle I wrote one email way back in April giving an update about my interest in BC and the activities I had been doing. He wrote back the next day and said that if I’m still interested by May 1st, he would be willing to advocate for me. I sent another a few days ago just restating my interest and he wrote back shortly just to acknowledge my interest. I think he’s really familiar with my high school so that might be a contributing factor. I’m sure your rep is getting your emails! Def call and ask if you’re concerned! :slight_smile:

@jenjen2021 Thank you for the detail! I wrote early April also. Last week was my second letter/email confirming my interest. Are you from the area? That may make a difference. I am not.

@ABEagle by “area,” do you mean Boston? If that is what you are implying, I am not from that part of the country. I think that all regional counselors are different. My friend is waitlisted at Middlebury and her counselor has not been responding either. She called the office and found out that they were getting her emails and putting them in her file. No worries! :slight_smile:

@jenjen2021. That is a great sign if your advisor will advocate for you. I really hope you get accepted. BC has been very communicative overall. Yes, that is what I meant. I’m from Florida. Most of the students I met up there were from Mass or surrounding areas. A few from the Midwest.

@ABEagle I hope you get accepted as well! You seem incredibly enthusiastic about the school! Oh ok that’s what you meant! I guess I could be considered part of the surrounding area? I’m from Maryland. I wonder when the first wave of decisions will be released…

@jenjen2021 yes, I like the balance of excellent academics with the warmth of the energy that exists on campus. The Jesuit presence is great. I’m not Catholic but I really like their commitment to giving and brotherly spirit. I get the impression that the first wave will be this Friday. Purely a guess based on the fact that last year, they sent them out on Fridays mostly, beginning ylthe first week. I would think you would be in the first round.

@ABEagle I feel the same! Personally I’m not Catholic either, but I loved the environment on campus. I also like how if one is not catholic, the student won’t feel left out. It truly is a special place! I think you may be right about decisions being released on Friday. Fingers crossed for the both of us! :slight_smile:

@jenjen2021 It would be great if we both got in! It’s countdown time–again…
